Hi #DVart! I’m Marcela Chermont, a #latine #illustrator looking for representation.

My passion as an illustrator and in life are animals. Bringing them to life as characters in stories, introducing the best of friends for kids, or showing their lives in our planet’s nature.

Happy October! This month I wanted to draw what kindergarten class would look like if one of them was a witch.
I am an illustrator interested in telling fantastical and funny stories, and I am looking for representation. #kidlitartpostcard #witch #kidlitart #illustration #halloween #inktober

Have some ghosts and their pumpkin buddy as a little treat.

An illustration of friendly ghosts circling a carved jack-o-lantern. The Jack-o-Lantern is lit from within and seems to be alive with the joy of halloween.

Hi Brian, thanks for posting this call here :) Creating more magical art has been a goal of mine, I'm currently on a creature design class. A mythology themed project would be perfect to dive into! My portfolio website is marcelachermont.com

Decided to keep going with #doggust2025 whenever I get some bit of time! Researching the dogs is just so much fun :) Here’s is a cutie, Sloughi, the arabian greyhound. A graceful, reserved and intelligent dog with melancholic eyes. 🙃🩶

#doggust day 10 - Peruvian Inca Orchid Dog.
Stop and smell the flowers!

Had a great time with this one, could used a bit more work but you can only do so much a day!
#artOnBlueSky

A colored pencil drawing on tan paper of a hairless dog (except for a white mohawk). The dog is brown with white areas on the face, chest and legs. It looks to be sitting, closing its eyes and sniffing a pink and white orchid flower.

Miss Sophie. Our first dog, and how I imagine she grew, since we didn't get to see her 💔 But I heard she got a lovely home with other #coonhounds.
